A group of DI members went to see MBK at the Fanmarker this weekend.
It was INCREDIBLE!!! It's a true "supper club" where you can go and spend
an entire evening. Imagine a beautiful, newly remodeled place, easily
twice the size of the Regent, having:

a gorgeous ballroom with:
no cover charge for DJ nights,
only $3 cover for live bands,
a large stage for bands to perform on,
a big dance floor,
a bar,
a full menu,
wait-staff to bring you drinks and food, plus
a separate bar in another room, with
its own dance floor
tv's, etc.

We really need to make use of this place in the future! It has so much to
offer us.
